NSTs and naughty babies...

Tuesday our little Twinkies (nicknamed so by our main nurse) were being naughty and moving when they shouldn't and not moving when they should. The nurse was going crazy changing the position of the monitors constantly. Actually there were three nurses taking care of us. Baby B was being extra naughty and the nurses had to call the Dr to see if they need to do extra testing.

An ultrasound was needed to make sure the babies were okay. Everything checked out and the babies are doing fine just miss behaving. We spent 2 1/2 hours at the hospital for a normal 30-45 minute test. Poor mom we told her we'd go eat after the test, so she had to wait just as long as us.

But Tuesday's was not as long as today's. Mom and I did however eat before, haha. Today it took a while to get signed in. We did get taken care of right away though once back in Maternal Child. A different nurse took care of me at first. The babies were steady on the monitors for the most part.

Baby A took her turn today to be naughty. As the nurse explained the heart rate stays at steady rate however little miss diva dropped just alittle from her average for the day and this concerned the nurses. They left the monitors on me for over an hour to make sure she was steady and decided to ask the Dr if maybe it could be a higher concern. The Dr requested another ultrasound to just verify the Twinkies were ok. I admit the length of time very very long to wait, but when your Dr is making sure you and your baby(ies) are okay and not risking it, it's worth the wait.

It's sad when all the admin and nurse and now the ultrasound tech recognize me. We had a wait for the ultrasound tech who was extra busy today.But lucky us got to peek at the babies on the screen. Baby A is now head down with her spine coming up my left side. Baby B is laying almost sideways in my belly, with her head down to my right side and her legs on the top of my belly. They changed positions since last week on Monday!

I'm figuring they did most of that yesterday when they spent the day busy busy! As the tech pressed on the top of my tummy he showed us where Baby B's legs were. He would push down and the little legs went down on the screen. It was so amazing to see. Of course both babies are okay, just being naughty.

Mom or "NANA" should I say, was just excited to get to see her Little Cupcakes. I'm very lucky the nurses, tech and Dr have been so great in taking care of me and the Twinkies. I'm even luckier my mom held out though the whole thing. That's a LONG time for her to sit still. Hmmm... wonder why the babies are so naughty.

In total the test today was over 3 1/2 hours long. I was so happy to stand up after laying down for so long. We'll be there again next Tuesday and lets just cross our fingers that it will be short and sweet.
